{"product_id":"floral-heart-rose","title":"Floral Heart with Rose Embroidery Design, Botanical Machine Embroidery, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe heart shape here is built from roses and leaves layered over and around each other, not a standard heart outline with decoration added on. The roses sit in a cluster, some fully open with layered petals visible and some still in bud, and the sage green leaves fill in the gaps around and between them. 3 colour build, rose pink for the open petals, dusty mauve for the shadows and closed buds, and sage for the leaves. Stitch count runs from 4,845 at 2.84 inches wide up to 14,058 at the full 6.08 inches wide, with 308 stitches per inch on the petal fills. The lower density gives the rose petals a softer, more airy look compared to the dense sheen you'd get from high-count satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack a medium weight woven or cotton blend with tearaway stabiliser at the smaller sizes, and step up to cutaway on any stretch fabric. Hoop firmly and run through the 3 colour stops without rushing. Theres a specific layering sequence, the green leaves stitch first as a base, then the mauve buds, then the open rose petals on top. Dont try to re-order the colour stops or the dimensional depth will flatten out and youll lose the petal overlap effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA customer earlier this year asked for this one specifically for a spring-theme quilt project, she wanted to embroider individual squares with different floral designs and sew them together. The 2.84 inch size at that scale sits nicely in a 4-inch quilting square with a clear border. The design also works beyond Valentine season, which is why I tagged it botanical and floral and not holiday-specific. Use it on aprons, tablecloths, linen napkins, canvas bags, or cushion covers any time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch in red, pink, peach, or lavender thread swaps if you want a different palette, just keep the leaf green as it grounds the whole composition. The natural 3-colour build gives it enough depth that it reads like a proper botanical illustration even on a plain cotton base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46271673303190,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/FloralHeartwithRoseEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772527998","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/floral-heart-rose","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
